Jana I passed by Riverside drive like 20 mins after that terrible accident yesterday, i think everyday is a reminder of how lucky you can be and life is so fragile 🙏🏼
Please ignore my fuel alert, the economy is doing badly 🥹
Nairobi has taught me that leaving home at 7:00 AM and leaving home at 7:05 AM are two completely different decisions.....
That extra five minutes can cost you an entire morning
🚨 Lamine Yamal’s little brother during Spain’s World Cup celebrations:
• Fell over in front of a photographer.
• Hugged Yamal.
• Played football on the pitch.
• Tried a nutmeg.
• Wore a cap three sizes too big.
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????

Least fave thing to do: Jeans shopping, because now the shop attendant and I are both about to get frustrated. There needs to be a size between size 12 and 10, for babes with thick thighs and slightly smaller waists..
In your career, you will meet a co-worker who hates you for no reason. It is very important you keep showing up at your best, keep triggering them and their insecurities.
if you aren’t vigilant you can come out of med school a worse human being —as the traits that are selected for in the process (hyper-efficiency, a tough outer shell, ability to hyper-compartmentalize etc) are not the traits that make you a good spouse, patient parent etc
